It would also be good for you to understand what they are. Word is *not*
changing the name of the document; it is creating temporary files that it
requires in order to operate. As the article at
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=211632 explains, many of these files must
be in the same folder as the document, and it is not possible to put them
somewhere else. All you can do is hide them.
They also are not related in any way to AutoRecover, and disabling
AutoRecover won't stop them from being created. The AutoRecover feature
creates files with an extension of .asd, not .tmp.

The explanation is perfectly clear, but I've never heard of this. It
certainly isn't normal behavior for Word, and I can't tell you why it's
happening or what you could do to prevent it.
One thing that might be involved is an outdated or badly written add-in or
macro. If there are any (see
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/assistance/HA011514521033.aspx for an
extensive procedure for locating all add-ins), try disabling or uninstalling
them, and then restoring one at a time and trying to reproduce the problem.
You may be able to isolate one add-in as the cause -- or maybe not.
